Innovative assembly line for building and major repair of main pipeline

The article proposes an innovative assembly line for pipe sections under field conditions excluding pipe layers. With the suggested assembly line the alignment of pipe sections can be done for welding works. Apart from this, the proposed line can help in insulation works, support of pipeline section, and laying of the finished pipe section onto a special supports along the trench. can be performed. The assembly line is equipped with hoists enabling to lift pipe sections and finished strings without lifting facilities used in conventional technique which will considerably improve environmental situation and cut financial expenditures. The offered assembly line will considerably improve the equipment of the repair and construction site as well as improve the working conditions of the personnel. The assembly line is fully electrically powered which makes it ecologically friendly. An innovative assembly line is treated in the article that is adapted to operate on the construction site. The line was developed as multi-functional one. With the help of this proposed line, there is the opportunity to fully automatize erecting and sheathing and laying works. The application of special anchor-type supports will make it possible to provide a spatial stability while performing the jobs.
